Neither candidate captured more than 50 percent of the vote in the March 1 primary – Anderson got 48.9 percent while Waybourn got 40.67 percent.

"We think that the primary was about name recognition," Waybourn explained. "Three months later, peope are looking for the difference between the two people, and when they walked in there (the voting booth) today, they knew who they were going to vote for and why they were going to vote."

According to the Libertarian Party of Texas' website and the Tarrant County Elections Administrator, Max W. Koch III is a candidate for sheriff in Tarrant County. Koch will face off with Waybourn in November's general election. The winner will be sworn in next January.

It's possible other political parties that hold conventions instead of primaries could submit candidates for the sheriff's office as well, according to Tarrant County Elections.

Waybourn is well known for instituting the first mandatory blood draws for drunken driving suspects when they refuse breathalyzers, while Anderson gained notoriety in the Arlington Police Department when he launched the Amber Alert System for missing children.
